Playing board games is a perfect way to spend quality time with your family or friends.

Do you remember, when a child, most of all you wanted (and
needed!) to be near your parents. Besides the feeling of complete protection,
it was just a mere joy to be next to your Mom or Dad. You longed for them to listen
to you, to read to you, to play with you.

Do you remember how much you liked to play board games with them?
I remember this very well. That’s why I would advise every parent to spend a
lot of time playing board games with a child. It will not be difficult, since the choice of board
games now is much better than it was in the time when I was little. Board games are almost as old as the world itself. Throughout
history in many cultures and societies board games were played, enjoyed and appreciated.

Playing board games is a perfect way to spend quality time
together. Besides the pleasure of playing together, board games also have a lot
of learning opportunities. Children can learn social skills (like verbal
communication, sharing, taking turns), organizational skills, leadership skills;
games may have educational value. Also, children learn that life is about luck
too. With a swing of a dice your luck can change and somebody else gets a
better chance. Children learn to lose and then start everything from the
beginning.

Another great way to play with your children is to play Lego with them. Children can play Lego also by themselves. Lego constructors have so many benefits for building children's skills that for decades Lego stays on the top of gifts for children.

Nowadays we have a lucky opportunity to see the perfect combination of Lego as a constructor toy and as a board game at the same time. It will make a great Christmas present!

First you build a construction, like with a usual Lego set. Then
you play it as a board game!

The game comes in a convenient box that is small enough to store in the game cupboard but at the same time big enough to keep the game board without having to take it apart.

The purpose of the game is to get from your House dorm, navigate around the castle to the classrooms and library, collect your color coordinated items and get back to the dorms before the rest of the players. It is quite a challenge, because while you move, stairs can shift, you might be stuck against the wall, or get to the wrong staircase. It is Hogwarts after all, a magical place. With each roll of the dice, players are able to rotate staircases or relocate classrooms in order to create obstacles for their opponents.

You can follow the
rules, but also you can make the game more challenging by adapting the game in a
lot of ways, by creating your own scenario and manipulating the rules! The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts game will stimulate imagination, cooperation, and creativity.

The LEGO Harry Potter
Hogwarts game is not a really "learning" toy, but it has lots of educational value, like problem solving, planning, and
construction . But most important, it is a lot of fun, and
a good game for families or friends to play together.

The LEGO Harry
Potter Hogwarts game is not a big set, it is at about a square foot. The Lego
pieces and the characters dolls are smaller than the regular-sized LEGO versions.
However, this factor does not interfere with the value of the game.

The LEGO Harry
Potter Hogwarts game is a quick game (it may last about half an hour, plus building the board may take about thirty minutes) but it is full of creativity, laughter and fun of playing together! It is more fun to play the game when you have all 4 players, but it may be played with 2 players or even one.

For more convenience you may consider buying also a Lego
plate to set up the game on top. Sometimes if the children play more energetically,
some of the pieces may break off when you try moving them. It does not happen
often and it is easily fixable, but a Lego plate may come handy.
